4.2. Integration Of SCM Log Messages

When a software change occurs in the SCM system, a log message may be used to describe the change. Using an activity_commit integration request, this log message is inserted in the bug-tracking system against the specified bug id. The log message is complemented by the branch name that hosted the change and the list of files affected by the changeset, as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Example of Integrated Log Message.

Added a glossary, and a document conventions section, just
like the Bugzilla Guide uses. Began linking names of systems/tools to
the glossary, and using a url to their webpage there. This will
unclutter the pdf version of the document from url links inlined with
content.
